4.1 General
4.1.1 Unless otherwise stated in a bending schedule, all dimensions given in the schedule shall be
measured as shown in table 1 (i.e. shall be the external (outer) dimensions of the bends as shown
in figure 1(b) and figure 1(c)). For deformed reinforcement, the extremities of the deformation shall
be taken as forming the outside surface.

NOTE 2 The dimensionless sections of the bars are the run-off legs.
NOTE 3 Ensure that dimension B is greater than 14d for smooth mild steel and greater than 18d for
deformed steel.
NOTE 4 The length formula is approximate and when bending angles exceed 45, the length should be
calculated more accurately allowing for the difference between the specified overall dimensions and the true
length measured along the centre line of the bar or wire.

These lengths are approximate and generally involve a slight positive difference from the exact
mathematical expressions.

schedules.
4.2.1.2 The preferred shape codes are given in table 1 (see also annex A). Shapes that do not
have a specific shape code number as given in table 1 shall be coded "99" (see table 1).
15
SANS 282:2011
Edition 6
4.2.1.3 If coded as 99, the sketch shall be fully dimensioned or reference dimensioned in
accordance with table 3, its dimensions being shown in the appropriate columns headed A, B, C, D
and E/r of the schedule.
4.2.1.4 For all shapes, the dimension of the run-off leg (see column 4 of table 1), shall be allowed
to deviate from its intended length by the sum of all tolerances.
4.2.1.5 No dimension given in table 1 shall be given a zero value, as this will change the basic
shape.

4.2.2 Hooks and bends
4.2.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in a bending schedule, the proportions and dimensions of the
hooks and bends shown in column 4 of table 1 shall conform to the appropriate values given in
figures 2 or 3, as relevant, subject to variations as may follow from tolerances in other portions of
the bar.
4.2.2.2 For all shapes with two or more bends in the same or opposite directions (whether in the
same plane or not), the overall dimension given in the schedule shall always include a minimum
straight length between the curved portion of the bends, as shown in figure 4. The value of this
straight portion shall be not less than the following (see SANS 920):
a) 4d for material with characteristic strength of 250 MPa;
b) 4d for material with characteristic strength of 450 MPa and not exceeding 20 mm diameter; and
c) 6d for material with characteristic strength of 450 MPa.
Figure 4 Example of bar with more than one bend

4.2.2.3 The overall off-set dimension of a crank shall be not less than twice the diameter of a circle
that circumscribes the bar or the wire. The angled length, as shown in figure 1, shall be not less
than the following:
a) 10d for material with a characteristic strength of 250 MPa;
b) 12d for material with a characteristic strength of 450 MPa and not exceeding 20 mm diameter;
and
c) 14d for material with a characteristic strength of 450 MPa and exceeding 20 mm diameter.
4.2.2.4 The length of material to be used in the determination of the calculated length to form a
bend or hook shall be as given for n or h in figures 2 and 3.
4.2.3 Radii of bends

4.2.3.1 The internal radius of a bend, hook or corner of a bar (where the radius is not specified as r
as in table 4 or can be determined from dimensions) should be twice the nominal size of the bar, in
the case of hot-rolled mild steel bars, and three times the size of the bar, in the case of high yield
stress steel bars and cold-worked steel bars (see figures 2 and 3). Where so desired, the radius for
corners may be increased. This change shall be indicated as shape code 99.
18
SANS 282:2011
Edition 6
4.2.3.2 The internal radius of corners marked with a radius r or where the radius can be determined
from a dimension, shall be not less than the radius as specified in 4.2.3.1.

4.2.4 Angles
4.2.4.1 Unless otherwise stated in a bending schedule, the angle formed at a bend shall be a right
angle.
4.2.4.2 In the case of an angle of a corner that is not a right angle,
a) if the overall height is critical, the angle shall be defined by a slope length and an offset, as
shown in figure 1(b), and
b) if the slope is critical, the angle shall be defined by the length of the slope and the rise, as shown
in figure 1(a).
4.2.5 Curved bars

A bar that has to be formed to a radius less than or equal to the appropriate value given in table 5,
shall be bent to the required curvature before being placed in its final position. Reinforcement to be
formed to a radius exceeding that given in table 5, shall be supplied straight and the required
curvature can be obtained during placing.
NOTE 1 For shapes with straight and curved lengths (for example, shape codes 39, 51, 81 and 85 in table 1),
the largest practical radius for the production of the continuous curve is 200 mm (this value should be checked
with the bending yard concerned) and for larger radii the curve may be produced by a series of short straight
sections.
NOTE 2 A section of up to 300 mm at each end of a bar cannot be radiused. If necessary, the cutting length
should make allowance for these lengths to be removed from the radiused portion.

5 Bar and fabric schedules

5.1 General
NOTE The purpose of the provisions given in this clause is to obtain uniformity in the compilation of bar and
fabric schedules. The implementation of these provisions should lead not only to easier interpretation of
working drawings but also to simplification of the preparation of a bending and cutting list.
21
SANS 282:2011
Edition 6
5.1.1 The bar and fabric schedules shall be separate and shall be drawn up as shown in tables 3
and 4, respectively. Individual schedules shall be done on A4 sheets, but larger sheets of the A
series may be used in such a way that the schedules can be cut or folded to a nominal A4 size. For
simple structural components such as beams, columns and rectangular column bases (but not only
them), the assembly drawing of the component may be included on the same sheet as the
schedule. Such drawings may be produced on A3 sheets on which the width of the schedule should
be confined to the nominal width of an A4 sheet.
5.1.2 All hooks, bends and corner radii of bars shown in figures 2 and 3 shall be deemed to be
standard values and are not reflected in dimensions in the schedule. For non-standard bars,
dimensions of standard hooks, bends and corner radii may be omitted and where so omitted they
shall be deemed to be standard values.
NOTE For computer produced schedules, the column widths and the size of the schedule may vary from
those shown in figure 2 and 3, but the sequence of columns should be maintained. The schedule should not be
significantly larger than size A4.
5.1.3 The bar or fabric schedules shall include the statement "This schedule complies with
SANS 282".
5.2 Title block

The title block shall appear either at the top or at the bottom of the schedule. The following
information shall be displayed in the title block:
a) the name of the project;
b) the number of the project;
c) the component type and the location (which shall appear in the title block or elsewhere in the
schedule);
d) a cross reference to a layout drawing number;
e) the schedule number with an optional revision number. This should appear close to the righthand edge of the schedule. If the revision number does not form part of the schedule number,
then the revision number shall be shown separately but adjacent to the schedule number;
f) the name of the organization responsible for the design of the project;
g) the date the schedule was prepared;
h) the signatures or printed initials of the engineer and the checker; and
i) such other information as the design organization deems necessary for the adequate control and
administration of the project.
NOTE Where a revision of the schedule is necessary, the line or lines affected may be indicated by a suitable
reference on the schedule.
5.3 Bar and fabric marks

The bar mark given in column 3 of table 3 and the fabric mark given in column 1 of table 4 shall
consist of the identifying numbers or letters (or both), that shall also be displayed on a label (see
clause 6), which shall be attached to the bars or to the fabric. Bar and fabric marks should consist of
a range of consecutive numbers/letters, and no mark should consist of more than three characters.
22
SANS 282:2011
Edition 6
The numbers should be taken from the range 01 to 99 and the letters should be taken from the
range A to YY. Where such ranges are inadequate, use either
a) a combination of letters taken from the range A to YY, followed by a single-digit number, or
b) a combination of numbers taken from the range 01 to 99, preceded or followed by a letter.
Combinations starting with "E" shall be reserved for bar marks where special end preparation is
required (for example, couplers).
5.4 Type and size

In the "type and diameter" column, the types of steel and the nominal sizes of bars (given in
SANS 920), shall be indicated in abbreviated (symbol) form, as follows:
a) symbols
R
denotes plain round mild steel bars, of strength 250 MPa;
denotes high yield deformed steel bars, of strength 450 MPa; and
denotes types of steel not covered by R or Y;
b) sizes: The size of the bar is given after the symbol and indicates the nominal diameter of the bar
in millimetres.
NOTE Where possible, mesh may not be listed on the same schedule as bar reinforcement.
5.5 Bending schedule

5.5.1 The bending dimensions given in table 3 and table 4 should be multiples of 5 mm, and due
regard should be given to the applicable requirements and bending tolerances in table 2.
5.5.2 Shapes of shape code 99 shall be shown in sufficient detail (see annex A) to facilitate cutting
and bending, or they shall be supported by a dimensioned sketch. The method for the measurement
of dimensions in table 4 shall be used. The total length shall be given, and unless there is an end
anchorage bend or hook, one bending dimension, preferably an end dimension, shall be indicated
as the free dimension, to allow for permissible deviations. The r, n and h values, if different from the
values given in figure 2 and figure 3, shall be given in the schedule. The tolerances in table 2 also
apply to shape code 99.
5.6 Bending of fabric reinforcement

5.6.1 The sketch in column 13 of table 4 shall indicate the following:
a) the direction of bending relative to the transverse wires (see figure 5(a));
a) Position of transverse wires
23
SANS 282:2011
Edition 6
b) the direction of the longitudinal wires of the sheet, to ensure bending about the correct axis (see
figure 5(b));
b) Indication of longitudinal wires

c) the correct orientation of an asymmetric sheet, to ensure the correct setting out of bending
dimensions (see figure 5(c)).
c) Orientation of an asymmetric sheet

Figure 5 Positions of fabric reinforcement
5.6.2 For all bent fabric reinforcement, the bending dimensions shall not be indicated at positions
near welded transverse wires that occur within four diameters of the start of a bend (see figure 6).
Figure 6 Position of welded transverse wires
5.7 Cutting length

The length of a bar shall be the cutting length as defined in 3.5.

7.2 Bending shall be carried out on power bending machines. Plain smooth surfaces or rolls that
do not offer resistance to longitudinal movement of the bars or fabric being bent shall be provided to
ensure adequate support. The diameter of formers that are used in bending bends and hooks in
accordance with figure 2 and figure 3 shall be such that bends and hooks will be provided of the
radii given in figure 2 and figure 3, subject to the appropriate tolerances.
7.3 The manufacturer shall ensure that cutting and bending machine operators are trained in the
skills necessary to produce cut and bent products of dimensions within the permissible size
deviations and of consistent quality. A formal operative approval and testing system shall be
implemented and operators shall have been certified by the manufacturer as having achieved the
minimum standards of competence.
8 Quality evaluation
Quality evaluation shall be carried out in accordance with SANS 920 in the case of steel bars and in
accordance with SANS 1024 in the case of steel fabric.
